Hey Mortar, Greg and Vartan,Thanks a lot guys.
Mortar; i’ll check with a friend if he can serch the net for that magazine, maybe he can get something.
Vartan; all few issues of FSM that i have, were sent by a friend from Canada, cause as unveliebable as it could sound, theres no way i can’t mannage a FSM suscription from Cuba, cause we are not permited to send money orders out fo the country; not by checks, credit cards or any other means; so that
s why i’m not a FSM subscriber as i whish to be, cause it’s a hell of a publication. Think about not having any hobby shop in the country… rough ha!!!
So Vartan, it wouldn’t be posible for me to get that FSM issue. Thanks any way buddy.
Greg; as i told before, we don’t have any hobby shops here, so to have models, i depend on a friend that travel outside the country, i give him some cash i save and he brings me models, but it’ll be over soon. Also my friend Ross (from Canada) have helped me out sending few models but i still planning to start scratch building models in the near future, as soon as i assamble the five model i still have in stock. I also whant to restore couple of old models i managed from ex modellers, so i would vac fuselage, wings, tail surfaces, etc and will do it, in 1:48, 1/32, or who knows, in 1/24. I also would like to use a vac machine to do the canopy and other details for RC/ models scales. For instance a Spit9 (my favorite) in 1/5 scale.
So i think i’ll use for plastic models, 15 sq/in plastic sheets so i can vac several parts in one session. Once i build the first vac machine, maybe i can enlarge it for R/C model parts. ¿What do you think? That measure isn’t definitive. You guys have more expirience in the subject than i’m, so give it a shot.
I got a doubt: As i’ve told before i’ll create forms of the fuses, wings and tail sufeces, in order to vacuum form them ¿right?, but what obout the panel lines. With the vac sistem will not copy them (at least not to detailed as they must be), even if i scribe them on the surfaces of the forms. So i suppose that i’ll need to scribe them all, in the formed plastic parts. ¿Am i in the right path? If i’m ¿wich would be the best plastic thicknes to use, cause if it’s doesn’t have enough thicknes it could weaken the parts and final: ¿what kinda plastic is better for this pourpose?
Well, there ya go guys, i’m hungry of knowledge, so don’t hesitate in proposing solutions. Everything is more than welcome.
Best Regards.
Raudel.
